What They Say of Governor Wilson at Home.

Wheeling CIV. Va InteliIgencer.
The assault of Governor Wilson upon a visit
ing Governor from neighborng State, unpro-
voked as it was, cannot be regarded in any other
light than gross breach of all the proprietles
of the occasion. If Governor Wilson had re-
membered that he was in some sense bound by
the hospitable obligations OF the hour we are
forced to believe that he would have reserved
the uncorking of the walls of his partisan
wrath. OF course Governor Foraker spoke of
the war and of the questions determined by the
war; but that is what soldiers of the Union talk
about when they come together, and in this re-
spect this reunion differs nothing from those of
the society held in other places. This however,
is the first time the Governor of State in
which a reunion of this society was being held
has thought it incum bent upon him to try to ad :
vance his personal political interests by stirring
up a partisan contention.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

We hope the prophecy of the
STANDARD that woman suffrage will
finally succeed, may not come true.
Private life is much more desirable
to the pure and modest woman, and
we cannot believe that she will ever
lend her aid to any measure that will
call her from the sanctity of her own
private home. We are not unmind-
full of the ability of our women to use
the ballot with discretion, but we OPP
pose "woman suffrage" because of its
purpose to drag them into public life,
and because we believe the best ell
ement of the female class do not want
it. How does our neighbor stand on
the question New Era.
Simply because we think the signs
of the times point to the final tri-
unph of woman suffrage we do not
endorse it by any means. We are
opposed to it, and for the same fea-
sons given by the Era. There is a
higher, nobler sphere for women to
fill than the exercise of the ballot.
She should ever breathe a purer at
mosphere than that which generally
surrounds election gatherings and po-
litical meetings. If the sentiment for
female suffrage ever gains ascenden.
cy among Southern women, it will
not be from any desire on their part
to stoop beneath their natural sta.
ton, nor from any wish to occupy
this lower plane of life, but because
the men Of the South refuse by theil
ballots to give them and their chill
dren the protection to which they are
entitled, and have every right to eX
pect. Political methods and practi
ces are becoming so foul and corrupt
and Office seeking has become 81
largely epidemic that comparatively
few men are strong enough to g
through campaign with clear
hands, and we would shudder to Sc,
women attempt the feat. Wheneve
woman takes the ballot in her hand
she relinquishes that high and eXalt
ed position in the hearts of all tru
men to which the chivalry of Amer
lean manhood has elevated her, Thu
elective franchise is a level to whicI
woman cannot afford to stoop, ever

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The annual message of the Presi-
dent was transmitted to Congress last
Tuesday. 1t is not quite so lengthy
as such documents usually are, and
is devoted solely and entirely to the
discussion of one topic-the tariff.
The President urges upon Congress
the duty of an immediate revision
and reduction of the tariff, but says
that in the readjustment the interests
of American labor engaged in manu-
featuring must be carefully consider
ed, as well as the preservation of our
manufactures. He does not side with
the extremists of either free trade or
protection ideas, but counsels such ac-
ton as will result in the greatest
good and the least harm. to the whole
people. Our limited space will only
permit us to give the summing up of
the Presidents conclusions, as fol-
lows:
1.-THE question thus imperatively
presented for solution should be APP
preached in spirit higher than par
tisanship and considerded in the
light of that regard for patriotic duty
which should characterize the action
of those entrusted with the veal of a
confiding people. But the .obliga-
ton to declared party policy and
principle is not wanting to urge
prompt and effective action. Both of
the great political parties now repre-
sented in the Government thave, by re-
peated and authoritative declarations,
condemned the condition of our laws
which permit the collection from the
people of unnecessary revenue, and
have, in the most solemn manner,
promised its correction; and neither
as citizens or partisans are our coun'
trymen in mood to condone the de
liberate violation Of these pledges.
"Our progress toward a wise con
clusion will not be improved by
dwelling upon the theories of pro
lection of free trade. This savors to-
much Of bandying epithets. 1t is
condition which confronts us-not
theory. Relief from this condition
may involve slight reduction of tn
advantages which we award on
home productions, but the entir
withdrawal ofsuch advantages shoul,
not be contemplated. The question
of free trade is absolutely irrelevant
and the persistent claim made in Ger
tain quarters, that all efforts to re
lieve the people of an unjust and ur
necessary taxation are schemes of sc
called free traders, is mischieviou
: and far removed from any considers
ton for the public good.
"The simple and plain duty whic
we owe the people is to reduce tn
: taxation to the necessary expenses {
an economical operation of the Coy
eminent, and to restore to the bus
ness of the country the money whic
we hold in the treasury through tn
: perversion of Governmental power
D These things can and should be don
with safety to all our industries, will
, out danger to the opportunity for n
, munerative labor which our worl
ing men need, and with benefit
them and all our people by expant
!, ing their means of substance and il

THE proposition which some of our
exchanges are advocating, to let the
States collected the revenue on whis-
ky and tobacco, instead of the gener-
al government, might do very we'll
if there could be some means of max
ing the tax uniform in all the States,
but otherwise it would prove a miser-
able failure. 1t would be utterly inn
possible to get all of the States to
agree upon uniform rate of tax
alton, and the general government
would have no authority to dictate a
rate to them. If Tennessee should
fix q tax of twenty-five cents per
pound on tobacco, while Kentucky
only levied ten cents, it will be read
lily seen that the tobacco industry of
Tennessee would be destroyed. And
if Tennessee should put tax of 81 80
per gallon on whisky, while Ken
lucky on called for so cents, Tennes-
scans would get drunk on Kentucky
whisky, and the Tennessee article
would cease to flow. Some of these
difficulties will have to be removed
before we can advocate this kind OF
estates rights"
